Hold referendum to end religious control of schools, says Labour
‘We don’t believe children should be separated on the basis of religion in education’
Labour has launched a petition calling for a Citizens' Assembly on religious control of education.
The Citizen’s Assembly should be recalled to consider a constitutional referendum to end religious control of schools, according to the Labour Party.
Labour senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin began a petition to support this approach on Tuesday, saying a referendum could “end the influence of religion over education in Ireland.”
